Despite the erroneous definitions already published here, TROPE on the interwebs really refers to an often overused plot device. It can also be described as another variation on the same theme. TV shows, movies, comics, games, anime', & books are full of tropes & many rabid fan-sites now name & track said tropes with a self-explanatory title for each one.

Not all tropes are bad, until Hollywood gets stuck on one.

Q: Did you see "Brokeback Mountain"?
A: That film just used the "Bury Your Gays" trope to make it dramatic. You know, where a gay character has to always die in the story.

Mother Texting Firetrucker - an expletive phrase created by Winona for her mother Helena in response to her constant use of chatspeak to text, comment on facebook, & other social networks like a teenager despite being 45 years old. It employs the use of the firetruck word in lieu of the more inflammatory word created when one drops the "iretr" from the middle of "firetruck".
